Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I like some neologisms (meh, for example) but corporate speak irks me and the way they write in Variety (desribing a movie as an actioner or even worse, a starrer) makes me want to poke them with sticks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I know Sean hates Variety-speak, but I like it. It's got a long history and it's a playful use of language.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How is "ankle" as a verb playful? My mother resents a lot of computer speak because she thinks there's a perfectly "normal" way to say it. I am often her when it comes to Variety, and often her when it comes to business. Why can't we speak "about" something? Why do we have to speak "to" it?

Boy, I LOATHE "speak to," unless it is the usage that means "having a conversation with."

Wait, what? How is "ankle" even a verb?
